Migration from "Modern FAQ (irfaq)"
If you currently use the TYPO3 Extension "Modern FAQ (irfaq)" you may have noticed, that the extension is not compatible to TYPO3 9.5 (last Extension-Update in March 2018) and the architecture is quite old (AbstractPlugin, Marker Based Templates and TypoScript configuration for wraps).
For users where "Modern FAQ (irfaq)" is a blocker for an upcoming TYPO3 9.5 Update, it is possible to migrate to "Plain FAQ" using the Symfony Console Commands included in "Plain FAQ". The migration is as easy as the usage of the extension:
1. Migrate existing Categories to sys_category
2. Migrate existing FAQs to "plain_faq" records
3. Migrate existing Plugins including Plugin settings
The migration may not cover all possible scenarios (e.g. Ratings, Question asked by, irfaq Plugin settings set by TypoScript), but is for sure a good starting point in order to migrate existing records. I guess, for most websites the included migration will suite without further work on migrated data.
You can find details about the migration process in the Extension Manual.
Thanks for sponsoring
